15 seasons was a long, long time to endure between championships. Now here it is 2015. This will be season #15 since the last OU national championship. Just sharing a thought that doesn't escape my mind.

That is true. I'm not implying that Stoops is not the man. Not at all. I'm a numbers guy, that's all. Numbers put things in perspective for me. Like this morning when I heard The Beatles "Yesterday" on the radio. 1965. 50 years ago. Hard to believe.

Looking back...on that night when OU beat FSU for the natty, if you told me Bob wouldn't win another natty for the next 15 years I would have bet everything I had that you would be wrong. Hard to believe it's been 15 years.
First things first.....this team/program must become relevant within its own mediocre conference before it can be relevant as a championship contender. That may take time.Looking back...on that night when OU beat FSU for the natty, if you told me Bob wouldn't win another natty for the next 15 years I would have bet everything I had that you would be wrong.

Who would have ever thought we would be taking a back seat to Baylor.First things first.....this team/program must become relevant within its own mediocre conference before it can be relevant as a championship contender. That may take time.
Right,Yankee. No elite QB, no title with Bob's offense....or maybe any offense!
Record setting does not necessarily equal elite. Sam was the #1 pick and Landry was #115. There was a reason for such a big differenceDon't let him suck you into the fish bait. Jones was a record setting Q-B at OU.

It's awesome that Landry set so many records at OU. But nearly all of his records as I recall, were simply set due to his longevity, and if I remember correctly the guy very rarely missed playing time due to injury. And there is a reason that he stayed long enough to exhaust all of his eligibility....because he was never really elite enough to be a realistic 1st round QB.
Yeah, and since you friend brought up the pro's. Guess what he's still earning a paycheck with the Steelers going into his third year. He may never make it, but guess what you muskeeters, he's been there and done that.
26 pro teams carry 3 Q-Bs on each team equals 78 total Q-b's in the pro's. Just one that sticks for one year is elite. Stick for three. Well you tell me.....
Furthermore, the last time the Sooners won the NC, we didn't have an elite QB. The national media made fun of Josh H.'s "wounded ducks" constantly.
Like this morning when I heard The Beatles "Yesterday" on the radio. 1965. 50 years ago. Hard to believe.
I guess you consider spending 90% of your life on a msg board contributing to the human condition.
Can't we just accept Landry as a very good college QB and be satisfied? Its very difficult to be considered an elite QB and drafted in the 1st round. [WTF?] Landry simply wasn't at that level and thats okay.
Maybe you should try working again and contribute to that world condition. There has to be more to life than sitting in front of the computer all day talking about nothing. To each his own I guessWell, I'm not working so...I take great pleasure sucking from the teat of all you shlubs that are.
It's pure bliss.
If you are checking a msg board while taking a whiz, being in a meeting, sitting in traffic, etc., then that is pretty sad. Kinda like people I see at a restaurant that don't even have conversations with each other at the table. They all have their nose in their phone.Be smarter. Just because someone visits this board several time throughout the day doesn't mean they are here 90% of the time. I check the board and even post while listening to my boring boss in a meeting, taking a whiz, while designing a machine, sitting in traffic, etc. It's all possible with a cool little device called a smart phone. You should investigate the technology. But it may be out of your reach dollar-wise.
Making fun of him running the 40? Of course I was. It was hilariousHaving us all agree that Landry was just a run-of-the-mill QB is as impossible as us all agreeing who the decent posters are on this board. Landry Jones is a record-setting Sooner great, in an elite group of Sooner QB's down through history. He wears a Big XII Championship ring. I won't agree with what you and others here are saying because you only want to degrade his contributions as a Sooner. You were also one of the ones making fun of the 40 that he ran in the NFL combines ON ORANGEBLOODS, so quit acting all innocent. We already know what you, Yankee and GODLUVSBOB think. It's been rehashed a thousand times.
